Outlook

A brilliant aerialist, Taylor ranks among the AFL’s most valuable players for his ability to impact matches at both ends of the ground. However, the athletic swingman still spends most of his time in defence, where he boasts an uncanny ability to read the play and foil opposition attacks. He ranked second at Geelong for contested marks (31) in 2014 and led the Cats for rebound 50s (67).

Dale Amos' player review for 2013

He was outstanding. Played on the big key forwards every week and also swung forward at times and kicked some goals. Bagged five against the Bulldogs early in the year after starting as a forward, and there's no doubt he would kick a lot of goals if he played as a permanent forward. But we need him down back. He had a great game on Kurt Tippett when we beat the Swans in round 22. He played on Josh Kennedy when he beat the Eagles in Perth a couple of weeks before that and held him goalless. And every time we played Hawthorn he did well on Jarryd Roughead. He has a huge influence on games. He was runner-up in our best and fairest, made the All Australian team and he's the sort of bloke who doesn't need much coaching. We're delighted he's signed up for another five years.
